Guys, This Is For You

Do it for the boys

Guys, This Is For You

First, I want to say how happy I am that I found my best guy friends within the first week of school. It can take a while to find your close friends considering we go to a school with 14,000 undergraduates, but I found you all. Until now, I never really knew what it was like just to be friends with a guy, because it always ended up meaning something more. Thank you for teaching me how I should be treated.

I am beyond grateful that I have...

Guys that listen to my struggles

Guys that would come sit with me when I was eating alone

Guys that would come up at 3 am just to keep me company

Guys that would pretend to date me just to fend off the clingy men

Guys that would bring me food and make me tea when I was sick

Deep down, I feel you guys resemble the brothers I never had. You always have my back, and I want you to know always have yours. One thing that I love about our relationship is that we can discuss my guy problems or your girl problems and we can give each other solid advice. Let's face it, any girl would be crazy if they didn't want you in their life because you all just have awesome characteristics.

One reason I am glad to have you guys is because there is less drama. Girls can be nasty as you know and start rumors and make it into an unnecessary passive aggressive battle that never seems to end! You always include me, whether it is the weekly DJ's outing or even just going to the gym. I love the small things--like hanging out with our favorite RSA Jason at 2 AM, blasting music and starting a random dance party. These things add up and I look back and realize how important you are to me.

As Mike always says "Do it for the boys"

Love you guys. Let's make these next four years count.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
